The Texas Department of Transportation will soon begin a project to help alleviate traffic along the 183A Toll corridor in Cedar Park.
This summer, TXDOT will begin construction on non-tolled frontage roads to connect Whitestone Boulevard and Avery Ranch Boulevard. The approximately 3-mile project is slated to begin this summer, with an estimated completion date of 2028, according to TXDOT.
The details
The project will require the construction of two grade-separated lanes on either side of 183A Toll Road. According to TXDOT documents, this project has been in the works since 2018.
The plans also include a shared-use pathway on the northbound road, which will connect to existing trailheads along 183A.
What else?
According to the TXDOT website, the increased growth and development in the region has necessitated creating relief routes to keep traffic flowing. The new routes will help alleviate backup on the toll road while allowing traffic to continue to flow during periods of maintenance.
The stated goals of the project, according to TXDOT documents, are to:
- Increase mobility by providing an alternate route for 183A traffic
- Improve safety by bringing the roads up to current TXDOT standards
- Reduce environmental impact by cutting emissions from idling cars
- Allow more flexibility for Cedar Park to grow
